Alaya Panama, so much more than a restaurant
Daryl and I went for lunch at a restaurant in Cañas called A Taste of Alaya. It is so much more than an amazing restaurant. Its website describes it as “Panama’s first luxury glamping resort and retreat centre”. It is perched on the top of a mountain.

The quest for a swimming beach
We had been told there is a beach quite close to Playita, out favourite swimming place, that was just about as calm, at Villa Marina.

We have a lot of Hibiscus trees in our yard. Even though the flowers don’t last long, more keep coming. Daryl decided to make Sorrel. We found a recipe on-line and started the process.

Where in the world can you go and your yoga instructor brings freshly made changa for breakfast. It happened in Panama…. Pedasi to be exact. This was a new taste sensation for me and I loved it.
